if I get a kybella treatment will I notice any results right away, and also how long would the recovery period and downtime be?

 As with most relatively noninvasive means of removing stubborn pockets of fat, time is needed before you will see the full results of your Kybella treatment. This is because these modalities physically destroy the fat cells, which then must be broken down by the body and eliminated through the lymphatic system, where they are ultimately excreted by the liver. Generally, this can take anywhere from 2 to 3 months to fully accomplish.
Kybella is a very quick and easy way to remove a double chin. It takes about 5 minutes in the office. You will probably need at least two to three sessions, spaced at least six weeks apart. There usually is no downtime with Kybella. You may experience some bruising or soreness, but this generally resolves within a few days. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella.

Hello, You will not see results from kybella right away. In fact you may think the double chin appears larger. This is due to immediate swelling. This swelling can hang around for 4-6 weeks. The next treatment should be scheduled around this time to see what the results are like from the first treatment. Thanks.

Thank you for your question. No, you will not see the result right away. Swelling will be present for about 2 weeks. I would say you can see your final result in about 6 weeks. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago 

Kybella is a non-surgical intervention which uses a purified form of a medication that dissolves fat under the chin. The results are slow and not immediate, but people love to do it because it requires no surgery or anesthesia risks. Our patients swell up for 3 days to a week and then look better. The fat shrinks slowly and all patients require a repeat treatment at 6 to 8 weeks. After two or three treatments, is when you can see most results.
Always find an experienced injector for this procedure.

Hello Jessica,  Kybella is a phenomenal treatment but it takes time to see results, usually 6-8 weeks as the body needs time to remove the fat and heal from the treatment. You should aim for about 1 week of downtime ( neck swelling /possible bruising). It feels weird but you can still go to work ad have no physical restrictions.  I don't know how much fat your neck has or how large the area is, but Kybella is usually performed as a series of treatments. on Average 2-4 treatments are needed to see results. Hope this helps, Best, Dr.Avaliani
